Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 46

The change in Kangxi's attitude in the past two days is enough for people to ponder.Wu Ya's face was ashamed, did she think wrong, how could the emperor be so ruthless to her?
He looked down at his blue-gray waistcoat, which was extremely gray and ugly.It must be like this, she was not beautiful enough when she appeared in front of the emperor, so the emperor would not take pity on her!After finding the "reasonable and reasonable" answer, Wu Ya once again hated his wife.

Xiaoyi felt a poisonous snake-like gaze, and it really was Wu Yashi.This is the Compassionate Peace Palace, she must not show her feet.So she just shivered and continued to act pitifully.But in my heart, I sincerely thank the Taishang Laojun for his help. Otherwise, the shrewd concubine De who has been favored for more than 40 years in the previous life, how could she make such a low-level mistake?
The queen mother squinted her eyes, feeling bored for a while.This Wu Ya family is really like Concubine Dong E back then, when she first accepted the favor, she was flattering and smiled at everyone.Once in power, whenever stimulated, he will bite people at will in hysteria.All her life, the empress dowager was a queen who came from a noble family and entered the palace. Although she was not favored by the first emperor, she was supported by the empress dowager's aunt.But her only misfortune in this life is that her husband doesn't like her.For the instigator, Concubine Dong E, her anger can be imagined.

"Follow the emperor's orders, Wu Ya, go back to the palace and copy "Nvjie". Ai family is exhausted, let's all go away."

Everyone resigned, the concubines present were all human beings, and the emperor's attitude changed so quickly, there can only be one explanation: he really disliked Wu Ya's family, but it was only because of the two elder brothers and sisters whom she gave birth to. The two princesses will not make her too downcast.

The most indispensable thing in the palace is to step on the high and hold the low. Xiaoyi was walked behind with the support of Er Niang. Behind her was Guzi with flushed cheeks, and next to her were Sanfujin and Wufujin.

Glancing at Guse, although the purplish red on her face looked scary, Xiaoyi knew that this injury could be treated with some medicine, and her face would be back to normal after two days.The people who wanted to come to the Empress Dowager's palace also knew it well, and they didn't deliberately release water or increase the punishment deliberately.

The large army was walking and suddenly stopped.Xiaoyi craned her neck to see that Concubine Hui was standing in front of Wu Yashi, supporting Concubine Wen Xi.With Xiaoyi's current position, she can clearly hear the movement in front of her.

"Sister Wu Ya has been clean these past few months. Seeing that you are living a happy life, you are becoming more and more beautiful. Sister, even the dark clothes can't stop your good looks."

"I can't be my sister's compliment."

Concubine Wen Xi shook her handkerchief, her voice was a little weak, "Sister Hui Concubine speaks straight, but she never lies. Sister Wu Ya, tell us how you have been raised these past few months. Sister You also know that this body has been ill for these years, and now I want to find some ways to recuperate."

The other concubines who obeyed Concubine Hui also spoke to each other, "It seems that closing the palace is really a good way to keep healthy."

"Sister Wu Ya has a bodhisattva-hearted heart, and she can't even bear to punish the slave who deceived the master. Maybe that slave is praying to the Buddha day and night, and the Bodhisattva will bless her?"

Even Ting Fang, who has a straightforward personality, can hear what you say, and looks at Xiaoyi worriedly, "Don't worry about the fourth sibling."

The Guerjia family glanced at Tingfang approvingly, those who come from rich families are well-educated.Grabbing her daughter's arm with her hand, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Feeling the tension in her arm, Xiaoyi knew that this was a hint from Erniang to herself.She changed into a comfortable position, clasped her stomach in her palms, and continued to watch from the sidelines.Watching Wu Yashi's face change from calm to deep, there is still some forbearance and struggle.

Sure enough, it's none of her business, Wu Yashi is still that shrewd concubine De.Seeing her blessed body, Xiaoyi parted her thin lips lightly.

"The imperial doctor once said to my sister that too much worry can easily hurt your body. In the past few months, thanks to the emperor's curtain, my sister has no other distractions. She chanted scriptures and prayed to Buddha every day, and she felt a lot more relaxed. My sister would like to thank all sisters for their concern. It’s just that there’s really no experience in it.”

Pretending not to understand, avoiding the important and taking the light, is indeed the best way at the moment.Most of the concubines grew up riding horses and archery. Although they have studied hard after entering the palace, they can’t change their nature easily. They don’t know much about these twists and turns. The highest standard.If it is an ordinary person, it must have been embarrassing and indignant.Unexpectedly, what they met was not ordinary people.

"Hey, Sister Wu Ya is still hiding it, it's really boring, it's getting late, let's go back."

"Xiaoyi, don't take it to heart, we can't do anything about it today."

Shuying also looked over worriedly, she thought Concubine Yi was the most difficult mother-in-law, but after today's episode, she realized how good her mother-in-law is.

"Tingfang, Shuying, I'm fine."

What Xiaoyi said was the truth, isn't it just a cup of herbal tea, hot tea has a strong tea aroma, and it is easier to cover up some harmful things.Herbal tea is different. With some memories from her previous life, she can easily identify whether she has been tampered with.Compared with the two, Xiaoyi still likes to drink herbal tea, as long as she holds it in her mouth for a while and then swallows it down.

Only Guerjia who was present could understand a thing or two about her thoughts, but others really didn't know.Seeing that her expression was sincere and did not seem fake, Ting Fang and Shuying felt that she was a rare tolerant and upright person.Especially Shuying, the guilt in her heart was even heavier.

But Xiaoyi didn't notice her emotions, even if she did, she didn't have time to take care of it.One after another incidents completely disrupted her rhythm. When Concubine De came out when she was pregnant, she knew with her toes that her life in the remaining nine months would not be peaceful.If it weren't for the memories of her previous life, she would even think that Kangxi was displeased with her and deliberately punished her.

She roughly guessed Kangxi's intention in doing so, but Xiaoyi was still unhappy.Kangxi benefited the most, and the concubines also had an outlet to vent their emotions. Only she was the innocent victim.The hands under the sleeves clenched Erniang, fortunately she was by his side.

Walking all the way back to elder brother's office, Xiaoyi took Erniang to the room she had prepared before get out of class was over in the study.The room is a side room connected to the main room, and it is all decorated by the dowry brought by Xiaoyi.When Guerjia came in, he thought he had returned to the mansion.

"I'm pregnant, and I don't pay attention to my body, what are you doing with these things?"

Xiaoyi was supported by Erniang to sit down, and she smiled indifferently, "I don't need my daughter to do it, most of it is done by the servants under the direction of Wumao. what to do?"

"Your sister-in-law has been the housekeeper since the Chinese New Year, and I have nothing to do in the mansion. It's just good to be able to enter the palace to accompany you. My daughter, you don't know how much your Ama envies me."

With just a few words, Xiaoyi noticed that Er Niang worked so hard to manage the house at such an age, just to give her a decent dowry.And Amana's jumping feet in Erniang's words, it really is Amana Erniang who treats her the best.

"You keep this thing."

Taking the purse from Erniang's hand, Xiaoyi opened it and saw that there was a roll of bank notes inside.One sheet costs 1000 taels, and ten sheets are rolled up for a total of 1 taels.

"Emiang, what are you doing? The dowry you gave me is enough, and I haven't spent much money in it yet."

The Guerjia family didn't believe it, "Emiang already knew about the lack of money in this palace, and the Yonghe Palace felt sorry for you because of this matter. My daughter, our family is not short of money, as long as the money can handle it You don't need to make too much effort.

Especially if you are pregnant now, although those embroidery works save money, you should not do them. "

Xiaoyi was embarrassed for a while, but Er Niang guessed it right, she gave her handmade embroidery to save money.Now she is not short of money, but in her previous life, just after Ama died, her dowry money was taken away by Concubine De, and she still has lingering fears about the difficult days at that time.It sucks to have no money left in her hands, so now she saves as much as she can.

"Emiang, what are you talking about. My brother will return to Beijing to report on his work in a few months, and the family needs money. I didn't spend any of the 2 taels you gave me. I was alone In the palace, it is useless to ask for so much money, you should take it back."

Guerjia's face was distressed, "Emother knows it, you silly girl. Don't worry, Ermiang has already vented her anger on you."

The mother and daughter backed down, and finally Guarjia made a decision. If she didn't want it, she would pack up and go back in half a month. Xiaoyi had no choice but to accept it embarrassingly.Rubbing what Eniang said just now, she finally realized belatedly,
"Mother, you said you vented your anger on me?"

"Oh, you are heavy now, don't worry about it."

"what is the problem?"

Seeing Erniang's remorseful face, Xiaoyi confirmed the strange feeling in her heart, what did Amaniang do without telling herself?
"Actually, it's nothing to say. You Ama found out that Wuya's family was lending usury, so you sent someone to disclose it to a colleague stationed outside the customs. That colleague happened to belong to Niu Colu's family."

Xiaoyi slapped her forehead after listening, "Why didn't you tell me about such a good thing?"

After breaking off her hand, Guerjia's face was distressed, "Why is it the same as when I was a child, whether I am happy or not, I beat myself on the head. It's not that the house is too busy recently, and I haven't had time to inform you about this trivial matter."

Xiaoyi shrank her head into Erniang's arms, rubbed against her like she did when she was a child, lowered her head and muttered, "Only Erniang is good in the world, and Xiaoyi with Erniang is a treasure. It's just Erniang, I have a baby now, for Baby, let's not be too harsh."

After she was pregnant with the child, Xiaoyi's heart became softer and softer.Guerjia's daughter had a peaceful smile on her face, as if she had returned to the way she was before the draft.Swallowing what she wanted to say, stroking her daughter's head, she nodded.

"It's all up to you."

"Thank you, my mother."

"Silly boy, there is no need to thank my mother."

Being patted lightly by Er Niang, Xiaoyi closed her eyes comfortably.Concubine De suffered retribution, she was comfortable from the inside out, it was better if Er Niang was around.Wu Ya's family has lost their official position, and their arrears will be confiscated, and they will be poor for the rest of their lives. This punishment is enough.

Xiaoyi, who was breathing more and more evenly, did not expect that she would let others go, but Wu Yashi would not let her go.
